Advantages: none

Disadvantages: emotional trauma

Women deserve to be knocked about if they step out of line. They are stupid and are always getting on men's nerves. Hairy legged feminists burn their bras and whine about rights, what about the rights of men in an age when women are trying to run society. They should be put in their place.

In a world that is increasingly female dominated, men should rise up and defeat the parasitic work of women who are unbelievable in their callousness towards men's rights.

This is the usual rhetoric of a mysognist and I have heard these things actually said in pubs by gangs of men and I find it repulsive and hateful. Women do not deserve to be treated like that after centuries of persecution and being put upon and beaten in the home I was shocked to discover that my own sister was the subject of abuse. The worst thing about the situation was that my brother in law beat her when she was heavily pregnant. It doesn't happen in middle class families? Wrong it does it is just kept more secret than the typical council estate archetype.

My sister is an amazing person and when I found I was numb, she had hidden it for a long time but enough was enough. It shattered our family and also the idea that people can have terrible secrets such as domestic violence purportrated against people you love dearly.

The reasons for the abuse vary from drink, drugs to male insecurity, one thing is for certain, no woman or man should put up with being abused. It is demeaning and horrific and I know my opinion is short because I do not want to talk much about my sister's circumstances but if there is one thing I hate in this world it's men who think they are superior and it is their inherent right to dominate and humilate women. It is not.

Women who suffer from domestic abuse are always portrayed as weak willed but how would you like it if the person you loved dearly was telling how much he loves you one minute and then the n


ext hitting you viciously for some abstract reason. Domestic abuse in Britian is on the rise and I would just like to say that I support various organisations who are trying to deal with sheer amount of emotional trauma caused by despicable and loathsome act.

There are various theories by psychologists surrounding the domestic setting and how socio-economic factors affect domestic abuse and I agree up to a point but they should look at the idea of male chauvinism and machismo as being intergral to the male persona. Obviously male and female are binary opposites and sometimes they will not connect but the woman is always portrayed especially on talk shows as women of virtue and this must stop if we are to get to the core of domestic abuse. Being repeatedly beaten and emotionally abused is virtuous if we look at it from a Christian standpoint but the woman figure is the essence of humanity and not a punchbag. Women will not be redeemed by being beaten, it is men who usually are the weak willed, insecure destroyers of the family unit.

I am a man in the modern world, and I just hate the fact that women are treated in such a horrific manner. Whether its being leered at by workmen on a construction site or being abused in the home. Women are beautiful and I love them.

That first paragraph made me sick to the stomach. I found this very well written, although i must correct you on one thing. Domestic abuse is nearly always about power and control, not drink, drugs and insecurity. Those are excuses used by the abuser and the victim believes them. This is then the reasoning given to families and friends, if they ever find out. Google the freedom project for more information. Otherwise, one of the best reviews i've read on the subject.

To be honest the first paragraph made my skin crawl. Feminists, just want women on the whole to be treated with respect, and have as much right in the workplace as men. I also think nobody has the right to hit another person unless they are seriously provoked. Also full time female workers are likely to be paid 41% less than male counterparts according to the recent government inquiry by Baroness Brosser. These are days in which you have to have two incomes in the family in order to be able to properly support yourself. Why cannot women espire to have good jobs in management. Surely, if they have undertaken all the qualifications and experience. Then their gender should not be a issue. The same can be said for men in female dominated professions such as nursing and teaching. Having said all that I think that this gentleman's sister went through a terrible ordeal. Alcohol is not an excuse for domestic violence, and it is legally no excuse for rape either. However, surveys report that the number of domestic violence incidents actually increase around world cup time.

I feel you were brave to write about something so personal.
I know what your sister went through, or should I say I can relate to it.
I feel that domestic violence is still very taboo and not something we all admit to recieving, or in fact committing.
A good and honest review on a very controvercial subject.
